Du you know what does Swedish word “hemester” mean? This very interesting and useful word consists of two parts. “Hem” stays for home and “semester” stays for vacation. “Vacation at home” or rather “Vacation at the home region or home city”. 

This year offers to all the world population the opportunity to look around their home destinations and enjoy “worldwide hemester”.

Lunds näst äldsta koloniområde, S:t Månslyckans Koloniområde, anlades 1907, bara två år efter att det första koloniområdet i Lund hade anlagts. Med sina 95 kolonilotter så är koloniområdet inte bara Lunds nästa äldsta utan också Lunds näst största koloniområde.

Klostergatan, Monastery street of Lund - The photo walk one century ago

Today we hope you will join us on a short walk along “Bullis”, illustrated with those old coloured photos. 🙂
“Bullis” was slang for the street Klostergatan, monastery street, and allude to Boulevard since it was seen as one of the most beautiful streets in the city, and people were strolling there in the evenings.
The street is pretty much still looking as it did hundred years ago. Although the name “Bullis” it never was a real boulevard and in the 1940th the nick name was used by fewer people, and nowadays it is not used at all.
